5:42 am
takeover of yahoo! by verizon. especially since the telecom giant says it would only alert -- it was only alerted to the hack days ago. molly: for more on this, we can speak with anthony sebastian, who joins us here. thank you for joining us on the program. the hack took place in 2014. why are we only finding out about it now? anthony: the short answer is they probably did not know about it. they probably found out about it only recently. yahoo! started notifying people to change their passwords two or three days ago. that is probably when they found out. molly: is it normal that it could take so long to find out? majort year we had three announcements of breaches that happened a few years ago. happenedese breaches in 2012, 2013, 2014, and only
5:43 am
now are they coming out. it is not clear why. nobody has said why they are only announcing it now. but the most likely answer is that they did not know about it until it became obvious. breachobably saw a somewhere and they had to investigate. a state sponsor is behind it. do we know who or what that means? >> they did not say who was behind it. they said it is probably state-sponsored we can only guess who it was per generally if it is a state-sponsored attack, that is a sign for most of the users that generally state-sponsored attacks are politically motivated. there have been examples in the past where governments have toked into e-mail accounts get the details of dissidents, people who disagree with the regime. they look at their e-mail to find proof that they are dissidents.
5:44 am
one like yahoo!, that was seem like a likely call. we may never know. molly: we do know that they say that the info was sold on the dark web. more possible to know about where the information has gone? >> a good sign is that this happened back in 2014, and we are only finding out about it now. so it probably has been available to sources over the likely ifears, and so you were going to be hacked, you probably could have already been hacked by now. it would indicate that it is probably not going to be this massive storm of people being hacked, especially because the passwords were heavily encrypted , most of them were heavily encrypted. it is a massive breach, but the fact there was no credit card details, there were some
5:45 am
personal -- there was some personal data, but it hopefully means we are -- molly: that being said, can people do more to protect themselves, given this? >> yes. you should always use different passwords for every service that you use. never use the same password on more than one service. in this case, you should change your password if you use yahoo! immediately. you need more than just a password to login for an account. even if a hacker gets your password, they cannot look into your account. they need your physical device. most providers now, yahoo!, microsoft, google, they will a two-factor authentication. you should turn it on straight away. molly: thank you for joining us on the program.

5:51 am
it fixed the issue several weeks ago. molly: we are going to end with some news for fans of kanye west, as well as fans of sneakers. >> kanye west will have you believe he has conquered the music industry and is doing the same thing to the fashion industry, launching his latest pair of sneakers this weekend. they are expected to fly off the shelves. the easy boost features an appearance by adidas and retails for around $220. they get more expensive when they get more vintage. sold yeezy models can be for double the price on the secondary market. it appears no different than a glorified pair of slippers. molly: do not think it will boost your wallet. charles, thank you very much for that business update. it is time for our press review. i'm joined here in the studio by florence villeminot.
5:52 am
grabbingk at what is headlines around the world. we will start off in the u.s. city of charlotte, north carolina, where protests have been held for a third straight night over the fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer. flo: "the charlotte observer" points out that the fatal shooting has shaken charlotte's self-image. for a long time, charlotte prided itself on being a pervasive city of racial harmony. the paper is quite stunned by what is happening right now. you can see the editorial today. "a charlotte we didn't, but should, and recognize." "black people in our immunity feel threatened -- in our community feel threatened." molly: the shooting was caught by police cameras, but so far authorities have not released the video of that shooting, though they have shown it to the
5:53 am
family. flo: yesterday the charlotte observer was calling for that video to me -- to be made public. today it is "the new york times." "keeping the public in the dark heightens tensions and undermines trust in law enforcement." this editorial lashes out against the charlotte police department for essentially stonewalling. this is the wrong response, according to "the new york times." transparency would be the wisest course. molly: that is in stark contrast to what we have seen from authorities in tulsa, oklahoma, where there was a fatal shooting of a black man by a police officer. flo: the tulsa police department decided to release multiple oficles -- multiple videos the shooting, where terence police. was shot by it shows what a struggle this is for cities. should they release videos or not? what approach should they take
5:54 am
in the wake of these kinds of fatal shooting's? the truth of the matter is, releasing these videos does not always calm things down. it is not always that simple. sometimes it can fan the flames of the situation. it is not a clear reaction to have. move onto a different story. yesterday the parliament in poland began discussing two controversial proposals dealing with abortion laws. details can get all the in a conservative paper. it talks about a clash between two different worlds with different values. and people's were first of all were first ofp's to banmining efforts abortion in poland, increasing penalties for up to five years in jail for women and doctors who carry out abortions. that was the first measure being discussed, but there was a second proposal being put forward by a different growtup
5:55 am
called "save women." they are calling for anyone who asks for an abortion up until 12 weeks of pregnancy to be able to get one. molly: poland has some of the strictest abortion laws in europe. flo: you can get more details in the polish version of "newsweek," which points out that abortion laws in poland date back to 1993. the politico points out that the new law banning abortion, if it is passed, poland will be the only country in the eu to ban abortions outright without any exceptions. indeed, it will be one of the rarer countries in the world to do so as well. , and: let's move to france the french paper "liberation," which has a report on muslim women. flo: their voices are really heard. you can see the front page of
5:56 am
"liberation," "we french and muslim women." it is a fascinating series of interviews. i really recommend reading it today. you have some women who are practicing muslims, some who are not. somewomen who are veiled, who are not. there is one thing in common that comes out, the feeling that they are being ostracized in their own country. there is a malaise that concerns all of us. the series quotes one woman, who says, "i do not feel comfortable in nice anymore." that a see the tension lot of muslim women say they are feeling in the wake of the recent terrorist attacks. this is the editorial in "liberation," which pays tribute to this mosaic of women. when we talk about muslim women, we tend to think of them as a fixed identity. .t is very diverse
5:57 am
it is a mosaic that is often exploited by politicians with an agenda. molly: we are going to end on a very different note. imagine what life for the like if you cou8úxú
